  • Summary

  • In the final episode of the series focusing on the Metro D.C. Synod mission statement, dive into the symbiotic relationship between caring for creation and caring for humanity. Natalie Cain, Director of Gifts of Hope, and Brother Ken Taylor, Pastor of Saint Nicholas Lutheran Church, join Bishop Leila Ortiz to discuss the responsibility we have as followers of Jesus to care for all of creation and what that looks like in our daily lives.

    Natalie shares that she’s always felt a profound connection to God in the natural world causing her to care deeply for all life. Her study of zoology led to an understanding that faith and science are not contradictory, as often believed, but instead intertwined and complimentary. 

    Brother Ken’s journey through learning about what we put into our bodies led him to lean into the teachings of the Lutheran Franciscans and the realization of how destructive many daily practices are to all that God has given us. 

    Explore how we are called to care for the earth and that while our individual actions may seem too insignificant to have an impact, if we join together, even over something small like water bottles, the collective actions of our faith community can make a difference.
